Oh wow - I knew this cold wave was dipping down way south, but I can't imagine dealing with no water or furnace! I hope you get water back soon and make it through the rest of the winter ok. Congrats on Mabel's twin girls!!

WE HAVE WATER!!!!!! Not much, but about a day's worth. The snow meting off the roof gave us a slight reprieve. Hubby called the water station, he said he will be open tomorrow and expect a long line.
I went to the laundromat today for the first time in about 15 years. It cost $17.5 to do four loads of laundry but I have clean long john's and towels. There are water puddles all over the mudroom, kitchen and bathroom from all of the buckets sitting around. Hubby is getting the first shower all week right now. He has been sponge bathing in cold snowmelt. I showered in the locker room at work. 
The worst part was I couldn't cook- no clean pots and pans. We have been eating off of paper plates. I went to the grocery store and bought some "freezer meals". Something I could bake in the oven right in the package. I feel like a horrible snob saying this but- How do people live on those things? Horrible, salt and fat laden boxes of tasteless ugh! 
Most of it some kind of carb laden, heavy sauce buried yuck! 
I was horrified. I think I know why we have an obesity problem in this country. I feel so bad for people who can't do even the most basic of cooking. I have said for years I think cooking, household accounting and childcare should be required classes in school- for girls AND boys. I believe it even stronger now.

I am so sorry SheepGirl.
That is going to take awhile to fix. I hope you have another source of water. FYI- snow takes a long time and a lot of propane to melt.

Here is hubby getting water from the creek. The waterfall under the bridge was the only place it was still open. He had to break the ice to get it open enough. That is ice he is standing on.
